Jessica Biel Shows Off Toned, Long Legs "Alone. By a Pool."

Jessica Biel is showing off her long legs on Mother’s Day. In a new social media post the actress heated things up with a leggy new snap. “Alone. By a pool. Reflecting on a heavenly Mother’s Day,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Workout Buddy

Jessica’s husband, Justin Timberlake, is her workout buddy. “Please excuse the photobomb from @justintimberlake while @jessicabiel casually knocks out a super-impressive set of single leg squats,” Ben Bruno, their trainer, captioned one video of their workout. “We’ll give Justin a pass since he’s doing sled rows with four plates on the sled and making it look easy. They’ve definitely gotta be one of the fittest couples around, and they always work hard in the gym while also making sure to keep it fun. Very cool.”

2. Strict Diet

When it comes to diet, Jessica’s is “not all-out anything," but she does avoid a few things. "Honestly, I just feel better when I don't have gluten or wheat or dairy," she told Los Angeles Times. "My digestion is better, I feel better, I have more energy."

Paleo pancakes are one of Jessica’s go-to breakfasts “with some cashew or almond butter on top with some local honey, and we like chicken-apple sausage, and then maybe a fresh juice from the Juicero machine, which we love, we have some green tea with honey—that’s a pretty normal morning for me,” she said.

4. Hiking

Jessica loves to hike. She once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. "I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me,” she told Glamour. “When you get out into the wilderness and strip [away] all of the stuff in your everyday life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it is. Needing things starts to feel like, Oh, I kind of have everything, don't I? It's pretty great.” According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

5. Yoga

Jessica is an avid yogi. "I started getting into yoga about 10 years ago through a close friend who was an instructor. At first I felt like, ‘I can’t do all those crazy poses,’ and I still can’t, but I’m not competing with anyone. I want to demystify yoga and bring it out to more women and men in the community, where it doesn’t have to be intimidating,” Jessica told Gaiam. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
